Bugs in soil, but not on plant

Man i got all different colors of mites,centipede/beatles, black beatles, and hopping flea things. But none of them are on my plant because I put some honey on the stem early on. All of them are on or under the soil, is there any thing that will kill or slow down the little hell spawn on top and under the soil? PS The mites and bugs remind me of the Orcs of lord of the rings, remember the scene where the orcs are fucking up the forest. I need some pest control shit to be my walking tree people to RockinRolla slap them punk ass bugs.:mrgreen:bongsmilie

I would do 3 things: 1. Spray all the critters you can see with insecticidal soap and/or pyrthrum. Do this on a daily basis or as needed. 2. Get some neem oil or Azatrol. Dilute per instructions... for Azatrol, go w 30ml/gal & pH adjust. Soak the soil, or if possible, dip the whole pot in the neem solution. Repeat this in 1 week for a total of 2 treatments. 3. Get some Diatomacious Earth at the local nursery. Sprinkle this on top of the soil after you do the neem soak. Let the top several inches of the soil dry out before the next watering. Sprinkle some more on the following morning as well. Repeat after next watering through the next neem treatment. If this doesn't kill everything, it will seriously slow the populations. Peace.

BTW, don't use the honey anymore as some critters will eat this. Rather, get some Tanglefoot at the local nursery... it is a sticky gel but w/o any sugars. Peace.
